PLAN · GUIDE STEP 2 / 6

Identify the exact job offer

Use the offer letter to note the agency, employer, country, role and proposed salary.

The main action

Compare the employer and job title against the written offer.

Before you start this step

  • The written offer or advertisement
  • The recruiter name and DOFE lot reference, if provided

Follow these smaller actions in order

These ticks only track preparation in this browser tab. They do not submit or approve an application.

Stuck or getting an error? Open detailed solutions
  • No written offer? Request one before evaluating terms or sending money.
  • An agent only gives a screenshot? Ask for the original reference and agency details so you can cross-check independently.
What you should have at the end: A written offer with traceable employer, recruiter, destination and job terms.
Avoid this mistake

Avoid verbal promises with no written details.

How to tell you're ready

You have a consistent written offer to check.

Continue to: Check published DOFE records

Illustrated foreign employment guide, step 2: Enter reference, then Published result, then Source and date. Not an official website screenshot.

Illustration only · Open larger image ↗

CHECK · GUIDE STEP 3 / 6

Before you start this step

  • Exact lot number or employer/agency information
  • Internet access to NepalAnswers and the official DOFE source

Follow these smaller actions in order

  • Details conflict? Stop payment and request a written explanation from the agency.
What you should have at the end: A list of matching and mismatching fields with source dates.
Avoid this mistake

A historical match does not prove current permission.

How to tell you're ready

You know which details the source actually confirms.

Continue to: Compare the full contract

When the authority's action is required: DOFE official service directory ↗. You remain in control of your official account.

Illustrated foreign employment guide, step 3: Contract terms, then Money and hours, then Differences. Not an official website screenshot.

  • Already paid without a receipt? Save bank records and messages and seek authorised complaint guidance.
